Terrible newspaper column @thetimes today from Rod Liddle, on the reaction from Liverpool supporters being upset with the chants from Luton last Sunday.
It’s strange that he doesn’t mention the Hillsborough tragedy being behind those chants, but writes it off as terrace banter. But you would expect that from him knowing what he’s written in the past & who he still writes for now. Awful journalist.
Also bizarre the sports editor of @thetimes would allow that column to go in his paper 🤬
Divided UK. A sad sight to see from where I live. Country needs a GE & period of reflection & coming together. I'm doubtful without sweeping constitutional reforms & meaningful rapprochement with EU any improvement is possible. Certainly Brexit facilitated populism isn't helping
Incredibly bleak to see these thugs on Whitehall on Armistice Day. And for all their mock-concerned hypocrisy, it's Sunak and Braverman who encouraged them there.
@Haggis_UK Lots of people on the front bench, let alone the parliamentary party, are unfit for office. Coffey displays one of the ‘qualities’ many current Tories have: truthblindness, a facility with avoiding or denying what is obvious. Johnson lied (repeatedly) and yet they cover for him.
Stop putting sh*t in our lake.
The message is simple. I will be outside United Utilities information centre every Monday from 9am - 10am until a commitment is made to stop putting sewage into Windermere.
We already have those wanting to join the strike so please head to https://t.co/lyChEX1v71 if you have any ideas.
@Feargal_Sharkey I would love it if you would consider joining me for an hour.
@gretathunberg feel free to come too…
@mikiebarb I listened to the show (from Europe), and couldn’t help fall off my chair near the end. A realignment election? Featuring two octogenarians? One who might win and hand over, the other who could win in prison? Good show, but you don’t always need a narrative with a little bow.
@EdKrassen Politics is about taking people with you. Christie may be right, but he’s doing a terrible job of taking people with him. You have to establish common ground, you have to build a base, and ultimately you have to convince people away from MAGA. I wish someone could. He can’t.
@maitlis Surely fresh blood like VP Harris or Gavin Newsom would inject energy into the Presidential election? But Biden’s problem isn’t necessarily what’s he’s doing, it’s that Trump sucks oxygen, and GOP messaging is effective against the incumbent.

Please help me protect life in Ukraine. Russia has targeted Ukrainian civilians and civilian infrastructure. This means the water supplies and energy supplies that people need to stay alive, especially throughout the winter. Last winter Russia tried to freeze the Ukrainians. 1/

I am 34 y.o. Belarusian living in exile in Poland.
FIRST time in my life I will see a peaceful transition of power. To opposition. After democratic elections. With 73% turnout.
My message to you - value and protect your democracy. You can't even imagine what a miracle you have.
